A study is a complete research engagement, not a single question or query. It covers exploring and refining your research question, executing the approved analysis plan, and refining results and manuscripts afterward — typically across several back-and-forth turns with the agent, all within the same study.

Follow-ups and refinements are included in the study; they're not metered or billed separately. See the for exactly what's covered.

Nothing stops, and nothing costs extra per study. Usage on Medeloop is measured in credits, and every plan includes 10,000 credits per study in its allocation — a typical completed study consumes 4,000 to 8,000, so the allocation is deliberately sized to absorb a demanding study without interrupting your research. Credits are pooled across your whole account rather than locked to individual studies.

If you do exhaust your allocation, additional credits are available in 10,000-credit packs at your plan's per-study rate. That's the same rate you're already paying — there is no overage premium and no penalty for scaling past your plan. You'll see your balance in your workspace as you go, and account administrators are notified at 50%, 80%, and 100% of the allocation, so running out is something you see coming rather than discover on an invoice.

Not on a plan? You can also buy a one-time study bundle above — select "Pay as you go" — with no subscription required.

Team, Lab and Department are subscriptions. Pick monthly or annual at checkout: annual is billed once for the year and works out about 15% cheaper than paying month to month, and either way the plan renews until you cancel. Enterprise is scoped and invoiced separately.

Credits are valid for the duration of your term. When a term renews you get your plan's full allocation plus any unused credits carried over from the previous one.

If you're purchasing with department or grant funds, we can provide a quote or invoice for your finance office — request one here.

Yes. If your department or procurement office needs a formal quote or an invoice before anything is paid, request one and we'll send it over.

The free tier includes 3 conversation threads to explore cohorts, check feasibility, and refine your research question. Free tier work can't be published — publishing requires a paid plan. Once you're ready to run a study, you'll see the exact plan before anything executes.

Individual and Team plans include a full 12 months of active access with each annual term; on monthly billing your access continues as long as the subscription is active. Unused credits roll over into the next term.

EvidenceKit includes access to an all-payer claims dataset from HealthVerity so you can start researching immediately, with no data procurement. Deploy Your Data is for organizations that want to run Medeloop on their own data (EHR, claims, registries) with federated execution — data never leaves your infrastructure.

Yes — BYOD for institutional data is available as an add-on to Team and Lab subscriptions. Because pricing depends on the size and shape of your dataset, we scope it with you before quoting a price.

Yes. The HealthVerity dataset has undergone HIPAA Expert Determination certified by Privasense, LLC, assessed by Bradley Malin, Ph.D. at Vanderbilt. No protected health information is accessible — only aggregated, de-identified results.

The prices on this page are already our academic, non-profit, and health-system rates — there's no separate discount to request and no negotiation required to get started. If you're at a pharma or commercial organization, pricing is scoped separately; get in touch and we'll work through it with you.
